"Hope and patience are two sovereign remedies for all, the surest reposals, the softest cushions to lean on in adversity."

Previous Quote

Before, I always lived in anticipation . . . that it was all a preparation for something else, something "greater," more "genuine." But that feeling has dropped away from me completely. I live here and now, this minute, this day, to the full, and the life is worth living.
